Racism Synthesis Essay

Racism can be “defined as the hatred of one person by another or the belief that another person is less than human because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person.

Although stereotypes are based off facts, they do not apply to everybody. According to Heather Mac Donald, “such disparities in criminal victimization mean that the police cannot target their resources at the neighborhoods that most need protection without producing racially disparate stop and arrest rates. Blacks are not just the most frequent victims of crime in New York; they are also its most frequent perpetrators…add Hispanics to black shootings, and you account for 98 percent of all gun violence in New York.” Racism still hasn’t changed in stereotypes. Blacks still commit most crimes and are racially profiled by suspicion. Racism over the past 50

In U.S. history, the….
